So I go away for a few hours and the whole world changes? Apparently Barack Obama has made a decisive move to fill out his cabinet and we are about to witness three appointments: Tim Geithner at Treasury, Hillary Clinton at State, and Bill Richardson at Commerce. All three come steeped in experience on Capitol Hill and the U.S. Government. However, all three are fairly safe picks too. Whether this is change we can believe in is only time will tell. At a minimum, we know that Obama is going to make swift and reasoned if conventional decisions as President.

Here’s the story:
Hillary Clinton will abandon her White House bid at the end of the week and throw her support [...]

I have been reading Hillary Rodham Clinton’s biography by Carl Bernstein entitled “A Woman in Charge.” The book has been very effective in terms of allowing me a more nuanced view of HRC after I started to become disappointed with her campaign tactics. As a result, I tend to ascribe largely positive motives [...]

Up until Hillary was forced to re-calibrate because of Obama’s phenomenal success and to start denigrating the Senator from Illinois, she had run a good campaign.
